3 kids vs 2 kids???

What a big decision we're making!! I am so blessed to have two beautiful healthy babies! My DD is 3 ys and my DS is 4 1/2 mths. We decided right after Andrew was born to schedule my DH for a vasectomy. We were both for it... however that time has come (tom at 1 pm!) I have been for it... thinking-yay-no more birth control!! But today my DH has hit me up with texts and emails all day about... are we sure we are making the right decision... are you sure we wont need another one? I know that its not b/c he doesn't want the procedure (he's a trooper) but he's right... are we making the r ight decision??? anyone ever wonder... SHOULD we? Does anyone have 3 kids and are super thankful they went ahead and had a 3rd one??? I know it might seem silly, but I want some insight from others! thanks girls... I'm just torn... and we have less than 24 hrs! :(

Age plays a big factor I agree with above post on that. And if our decision had to deal with just age we wouldn't have gotten my tubes tied. I want more but my body couldn't handle another pregnancy. That was why we decided for me to get my tubes tied at 22.

We were so sure after our second that we didn't want another, but it happened unexpectedly and we are soooo happy it did!! We didn't think we would have the money, resources, time, etc to care for another, but we kept a positive attitude about it and we were blessed with being able to find a four bedroom home and a new job for my husband with all the overtime we need. And somehow, I am now able to do what I thought I couldn't ever be able to handle (take care of three kids under 4 and keep my sanity lol). Now we're even thinking about a fourth!!

We thought we were done at 3 boys, then decided to do it again! My youngest was 8 when we had our girl. We are so glad to never did anything permanent. I couldn't imagine life without her now. i recommend the mirena, then decide in 5 years! You just never know

I think 31 is too young for the permanant solution. I'm 33 and I could've had my tubes tied during c/s...a lot can change in just one year...forget about 5 years...and your husband will still only be 40. We already have 3 and I am Very done!...but you just never know what could happen...there's 7 more years til I'm 40! just sayin

however...if I were 35 at the time of this last delivery, I probably would've had it done.

And a vasectomy is reversable - but reversal isn't 100%...then again...neither is the vasectomy itself.
